Emulating their senior counterparts, it's now four wins from five league games for United's second string following their comeback victory on Sunday.

A sparse crowd at Whitley Park saw Dylan Stephenson net a fourth minute opener, before Dominic Ballard put the visitors level in the 18th minute.

Nico Lawrence's 38th minute header then gave the Saints a half time advantage that they held until Isaac Westendorf marked his return from injury with an equalising goal on the hour.

The recovery was then completed nine minutes from the end of normal time, when Joe White fired an unstoppable free kick beyond Ollie Wright.

Elliot Dickman's side then saw out over eight minutes of added time before claiming the three points that maintained their position of sixth in PL2.
